It can, but it needs you to explicitly tell it what to instantiate, and
how to map it to the scripting language. Since templates are dealt with
by the C++ compiler, you couldn't have a python script that instantiates
a template that wasn't already pushed through the static C++ compiler.
(and since MyTemplate<blah,some_expression(),int> doesn't map to most
scripting languages, you need to tell it you want that to be
"mytemplate_uniquename" when you reference it in the script.
Most of the problems you'll have with SWIG is that it's not a full C++
parser, so if you just point it at some complicated C++ code and tell it
to figure out the interfaces, it might fail. But even there, you can
just write your own .i file that doesn't have much C++ in it, or deal
only with C-callable APIs in your C++ code, or whatever.

Yes. :)
